Got golf on your mind? When it comes
to the world’s most alluring golf destination,
no one’s got a scorecard quite like
Maui’s. Four of the world’s most famous resort
destinations line the island’s northern, western
and southern shorelines. Collectively, they
house nine award-winning courses, each rated
3.5 stars. Each course is practically a long wedge
shot from the luxurious accommodations within
its home resort. All have countless panoramic
views and all are within an hour’s drive of each
other along a gorgeous, tropical coastline. Small
wonder that, for golfers, Maui is the equivalent
of a long, straight drive off the tee, with a guaranteed
eagle waiting at the end of it.
Aside from their renowned beauty and comfort,
Maui’s resorts and their accompanying golf
courses offer virtually everything a person
would desire on an ultimate golf vacation. Low
handicappers will feel at home on courses
where tour professionals have won and lost.
Duffers will find hospitable fairways that won’t
always punish their frequently errant shots.
There are courses that glide near the ocean for
those who like to swing with the rhythm of the
surf, and holes that climb the volcanic slopes of
Haleakalā, and then open up to fantastic vistas
of the Pacific and Maui’s neighbor islands of
Lāna‘i and Moloka‘i. Fore! For more information
